GoldDude:southpawtn: He didn't say that at the arraignment, subby. He said it when he was drunk and getting arrested.

And he likely said that before he was read his Miranda rights, so his defense lawyer will move to have that excluded from evidence at the trial.

That's not how Miranda works. If he was spontaneously saying that crap, and it wasn't in response to police questioning (even indirect questioning), then it would be admissible. The 5th amendment protects people from being coerced into self incrimination, but it doesn't protect them from stupidly blurting out incrminating statements and having those statements used against them.
